    When I tried to "send/receive" messages, a little pop-up window appeared saying my password wasn't valid. I pasted the just created PW in that window and haven't been asked for it again. Outlook has no trouble sending and receiving now for me and others I've stepped through this procedure.

    That is a good question, hopes someone has the answer. I did print my Google Less Secure Password...but, what if not, can you access that Password if needed? My guess is, hopefully, you would create a New 16 Digit Pawword. I did not complete the process but do see where you can click on APP PASSWORDS the right facing arrow and it may be that you can create a New 16 Digit Password to use.

    Would like the correect answer, 1) you can re-capture the 16 Digit Paaword or 2) you create a New 16 Digital Password

    This worked great on my desktop. Did not work on my laptop. I used the same 16 digit app password. Do I need to create a new app password for each computer?

    Thank you

    Yes, you need a separate, different App Password for each computer, they are single use and unique. Further, if you were to delete and re-create your Gmail account in Outlook on your desktop computer, you can't re-use the one you originally generated that is currently working, you'll need to generate a new one.

    This worked well on my desktop. Then I tried adding the same account to Outlook 2010 on my laptop, using the same 16 digit app password. It did not work. Do I need to create a new app password for each computer?

    Thank You
